Maybe he was in the getaway car. Many eagle-eyed Swifties noticed that Travis Kelce wasn’t at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film premiere.

The two have been spending a lot of time together. The 33-year-old pop star spent two weekends cheering on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as his team faced the New York Jets and the Chicago Bears. Her first game—which took place at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on September 24, 2023—came after weeks of dating rumors surrounding her and the NFL player. During the match, she was photographed cheering alongside Kelce’s mom, Donna, in a private suite after he scored a touchdown. Later that evening, Swift drove off in Kelce’s car and the pair reportedly attended an after party together with his teammates at a local restaurant.

“They’re overdoing it,” Jason finished, to which Kelce agreed: “They’re overdoing it a little bit for sure, especially my situation. [But] I think they’re just trying to have fun with it.”
